3 The increasing adoption of new technologies, such as cellular and IP communications and the shift away from plain old telephone lines (POTs), has led the National Fire Protection Association (NFPA) to expand and elaborate these new communication technologies to their latest standards of the NFPA72, 2010 Edition. In order to meet the requirements of a communicator deployed for commercial fire applications, the standard has specified, among other things, that: communication paths must be monitored and any failure of the communication path shall be announced at the supervising station within 5 minutes of the failure the battery backup needs to provide 24 hours of standby current DSC s 3G3070-CF and T-Link TL300/TL300CF are UL listed as sole path communication systems for fire control panel communications with cellular and IP communications respectively. In order to obtain this listing, these products were thoroughly tested as per the UL864 9th Edition and UL1610 Standards. The IP alarm communicator models 3G3070-CF and T-Link TL300CF are FM approved for use as a single communication technology when the heartbeat supervision is enabled at the Supervising station compatible receiver. These communicators can also be used in a back-up configuration in conjunction with an approved DACT communicator. The 3G3070-CF and the T-Link TL300/TL300CF can now be installed in certified installations in accordance with the requirements of UL827 Standard and NFPA (Section Other Transmission Technologies), NFPA (Section Other Transmission Technologies) or NFPA Code (Section ). Refer to Appendix A for details for compliance with NFPA72 current edition. The complete cellular and IP CF kits include 24 hour battery backup, power supply (powered from 120VAC connection), as well as supervision setup for fire applications. The standalone TL300/TL300CF can be powered directly off of any UL listed power supply rated from 12 VDC - 24 VDC. The 3G3070-CF is programmed using C24 Communications ( and the TL300/TL300CF is programmed manually. The 3G3070-CF and the TL300/TL300CF are compatible with listed alarm control panels that have an integrated Digital Alarm Communication Transmitter (DACT) and support a 4 or 10 digit Contact ID Communication Format. They are designed to work with the Contact ID communication format as described in SIA DC-05 Standard. Alternatively, these units can also be setup solely with the dry contact outputs from the panel to the zone inputs of the communicators. Telephone lines over voltage protection and monitoring with automatic switch over to the cellular/ip network communication path when a phone line trouble condition exists are also provided. Please see following page for detailed product features on both communication systems. 1

9 Frequently Asked Questions How reliable are the communication paths given that these units can be used as sole communicators? The 3G3070-CF and the TL300/TL300CF are built to be robust enough to be used as sole communicators and can withstand most network issues or network congestions. They use the constant connection feature of cellular networks and the Internet to communicate heartbeats to the central station every couple of seconds. If the unit fails to communicate its presence in a given time window, the receiving station is alerted with an account absent message. This feature is called Account Supervision. What happens if there is a power failure? Because modern cellular networks continue to work during a local power outage, the 3G3070-CF is not affected by power outages and will continue to work for 24 hours following any such outage. TL300/TL300CF also continues to work during a local power outage. However, you need to ensure that the routers in the TL300/TL300CF that are connected at your premises, have 24 hour power backup. In the unlikely event that power goes out, and the power backup built into these units fails to operate, the supervising station will see a network absent message. How does supervision work? In order to monitor the communication path, the 3G3070-CF sends a heartbeat signal every 97 seconds to the supervising station. The TL300/TL300CF sends a heartbeat every 10 seconds. These are the default values and may be changed by the installer if required. If the receiver misses three consecutive heartbeats within a 300 second window, an Account Absent Message is generated at the supervising station. The receiver must then receive 2 consecutive heartbeats to restore the condition. Note: It is recommended that the procedure for responding to such messages by the supervising station are established/discussed with the owner of the protected premises. What programming information do I need to setup these units? For the TL300/TL300CF you will need the following information: Account Number 4 Receiver IP 4 Receiver port 4 For Static IP Addresses Only: IP address 5 Subnet mask 5 Gateway 5 Port 3060 and port 3061 on the router must be open for alarm communication for remote programming Setup TCP port 3064 forwarding on router (please refer to router manual/manufacturer for details) For the 3G3070-CF, you will need the following information: Account Number 4 Receiver IP 4 DNIS Please contact you supervising (central) station to obtain 5 - Please contact your local network operator to obtain 7

10 Can I power the TL300/TL300CF from a fire panel? The TL300/TL300CF may be powered from a 12VDC to 24VDC on a fire panel. However, you will need to ensure that panel battery is sufficient to provide 24 hour backup. How can I test if I have installed the unit correctly? How can I test for AC trouble, low battery trouble, and network trouble? AC trouble and low battery trouble: Remove the AC power Panel should show zone trouble (Remember to ensure the AC Power/Low Battery Outputs from the Power Supply (PS4085) are connected to the fire panels zone inputs) Network trouble: Remove Network cable for TL300/TL300CF and/or remove antenna connector for 3G3070-CF Fire panel should show trouble light and the supervising station should show loss of connection within 300 seconds Note: Please make sure to always connect the battery first when powering up the units. How can I troubleshoot these devices? Please refer to the installation manual for troubleshooting instructions. What are the supervising station requirements for these products? The TL300/TL300CF/3G3070-CF work with the following supervising station receivers: A System I (Firmware version 1.0 and higher current version is 1.12) A System II (Firmware version 1.1 and higher current version is 2.02) A System III receiver with 1 DRL3-IP line card (Firmware version 1.91 and higher) A System IV receiver with DRL4-IP line card (Firmware 1.0 and higher) Are there any specific Fire Panel compatibility requirements? For full communication, the Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) must be able to communicate in DTMF Contact ID format and have a zone available for connection to the PS 4085 power supply trouble outputs to show trouble on the fire alarm control panel. The TL300/TL300CF and 3G3070-CF may also connect to the FACP if outputs for alarm, trouble and supervisory from the FACP are available. Can I install the two phone lines from the panel in parallel into these units? Please note that these units are designed to take only one phone line input. Do not install the second phone line in parallel. You should disable the second phone line in the panel. Please contact your panel manufacturer for more details on how to disable the second phone line. These products will not operate correctly if two or more DACT s lines are connected to the R-1/T-1 terminals of the Cellular/IP communicator. There should only be a single pair connected between R-1/T-1 of the Cellular/IP Communicator to the Ring/Tip of the DACT respectively, with no additional lines connected in parallel. 8

14 Criteria NFPA Edition Requirements 3G3070-CF Compliance T-Link TL300/TL300CF Compliance Internet Service Provider can schedule maintenance work that can possibly disrupt the service availability at certain times. Use reliable ISP providers with back-up servers and proper routers capable to prevent denial of service attacks, spoofing, etc. The broadband connection at the protected premises can be shared. The data used for alarm messages is very small so the bandwidth is not affected by the traffic incurred for sending alarms/supervisory or trouble signals to the supervising station. This is an installation specific requirement and it is not influenced by the equipment. Unique flaws. From time to time, there may be unique flaws in a communication system. Unique requirements must be written for these unique flaws. Network operators can schedule maintenance work that can possibly disrupt the service availability at certain times. Signal priority. If the communication methodology is shared with any other usage, all alarm transmissions must preempt and take precedence over any other usage. Alarm signals take precedence over supervisory signals. 3G3070-CF can only be used for Fire and Burglary alarm transmissions (no calls or any other application possible with this device). The HSPA (3G) technology presents a better usage of the network resources in terms of delivering the data. Sharing communications equipment on premises. If the transmitter is sharing on-premises communications equipment, the shared equipment must be listed for the purpose (otherwise the transmitter must be installed ahead of the unlisted equipment). Not applicable, the 3G3070-CF connects directly to the Cellular Network.

15 Clarifications on NFPA Edition verbiage Communication Methods covered under Section The requirements for general communication methods in Section cover all communications methods between the protected premises and the supervising station that differ from DACT, Two-Way Radio and One-Way Private Radio Equipment. Equipment that meets the performance requirements of this section are permitted as suitable communications methods. The specific requirements for general communications are also detailed in the table (see pages 10-12). This table defines that annunciations on the degradation and restoration of a communications path must occur within five (5) minutes (if a single communication technology is used). It also defines the fact that equipment conforming to must only provide a redundant path (multiple communications technologies) if the communication failure on a single path cannot be annunciated within five (5) minutes at the supervising station. Sections and define requirements for specific communication methods identified as DACTS or Two-Way Radio and One-Way Private Radio Equipment. These requirements are not applicable to other transmission technologies like the ones used by 3G3070-CF or T-Link TL300/TL300CF because these products are not using dial up connections and also are not using private radio networks as means for communication with supervising stations.
